    11. DRAINING TRANSMISSION

    The transmission should be drained before it is removed from the vehicle.

    Remove the oil drain plug from the rear of the transmission oil pan. Examinethe drained oil for evidence of water or debris that indicates failure of internal

    components.

    Reinstall the oil drain plug.

    Remove the oil fill tube assembly if it will interfere during transmissionremoval.

    Disconnect all oil lines from the transmission. Remove the lines from thevehicle if they will interfere during transmission removal. Plug openings to

    keep dirt from entering the oil system.

    12. DISCONNECTING CONTROLS

    Controls, if not completely removed, should be disconnected from the transmission

    and positioned so they do not interfere with transmission removal.

    Disconnect all linkage or cables for shifting, shift modulation, hydraulicretarder operation, parking brake, and speedometer.

    Remove the modulator and the modulator actuator rod (if loose intransmission housing) from the transmission.

    Disconnect the power takeoff from its driven equipment. Disconnect the PTOcontrols. Remove the PTO completely if it will interfere with transmission

    removal. Disconnect any electrical leads or capillary tubes to the neutral start switch,

    reverse signal, solenoid valves, heaters, or pressure and temperature sensors.

    NOTE: If not already marked, put a center-punch mark on the splined

    transmission range selector lever, adjacent to the index mark on the

    selector shaft, before removing the lever.

    13. UNCOUPLING FROM DRIVELINE AND ENGINE

    Disconnect the vehicle driveline from the transmission output flange or yoke.Disconnect the input drive flange or yoke (remote-mounted). Position the

    disconnected shafts to avoid interference with transmission removal.

    Figure 11 shows a typical method of coupling the engine and transmission(engine-mounted). Remove the drive bolts that secure the flexplate to theconverter drive cover.

    Figure 11. Typical Method of Coupling Transmission-to-Engine

    14. REMOVING MOUNTING BOLTS

    If the transmission mountings support the rear of the engine, place a jack orother support under the engine.

    Support the transmission securely on a jack, hoist, or other removal

    equipment. Remove all bolts, spacers, and supports that attach the transmission to the

    engine and vehicle.

    15. REMOVING THE TRANSMISSION

    Move the transmission away from the engine until completely clear of theengine.

    Raise or lower the transmission as required to remove it from the vehicle.

    16. REMOVING INPUT AND OUTPUT FLANGES OR YOKES

    When replacing the transmission, it may be necessary to transfer input and output

    flanges or yokes to the replacement transmission. If the flanges or yokes are retained

    by a large self-locking nut, specific procedures must be followed for removal of the

    nut.

    Before removing the nut, clean the output shaft threads to remove dirt and

    contamination. Remove any burrs or thread damage that may be present.

    If there are less than five notches or none at all, loosen the nut until there isabout 116inch gap between the nut and flange.

    The first time the retaining nut is removed from the shaft, it must take aminimum of 400 lb in. (45 Nm) to rotate the nut from the shaft. Each

    subsequent time the nut is removed, it must require a minimum of 300 lb in.

    (34 Nm) to rotate it from the shaft. The torque value must be measured after

    the initial breakaway torque required to loosen the nut from the output flange.

    Each time the nut is removed, deeply scribe one of the flats on the nut. Thiswill allow service personnel to determine how many times the nut has been

    used and prevent the nut from being used more than five times.

    17. REBUILD/OVERHAUL INSTRUCTIONS

    Refer to the current edition of Service Manual SM1314EN or SM1270EN for rebuild

    or overhaul of the transmission.

    21. CHECKING FLYWHEEL (ENGINE-MOUNTED MODELS)

    Check the 12-bolt circle at the front of the flywheel. The 12-20 threads mustbe undamaged, and the holes free of chips or foreign material.

    Check the pilot boss (at center of flywheel) for damage or raised metal that

    would prevent free entry into the flexplate hub adapter. Check the starter ring gear for excessive wear or damage. Check welds that

    retain the ring gear (where applicable).

    22. INSTALLING BRAKE AND OUTPUT FLANGE

    Check the rear oil seal for failure or damage. For replacement instructions,refer to Service Manual SM1314EN or SM1270EN.

    Lubricate the oil seal with oil-soluble grease.

    Check the output flange or yoke for damage or wear. The oil seal contactsurface must be smooth and regular to prevent oil leaking past the rear oil

    seal. Rotate the flange during installation to prevent seal lip damage.

    Install the parking brake assembly. Tighten the bolts to the torquerecommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

    Install the output flange or yoke. The brake drum, if it mounts ahead of thefl

    ange or yoke, must be attached before thefl

    ange is installed, and its boltstightened to the torque recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Be sure the

    flange or yoke hub is seated against the transmission rear bearing.

    The output flange or yoke on straight-through model transmissions is retainedby a large self-locking nut. This nut may be reused up to five times if it meets

    running torque requirements during removal.

    Each time the nut is reused, deeply scribe one of the wrenching flats. This willallow the mechanic to determine how many times the nut has been used.

    Check the output shaft and retaining nut threads to ensure that they are cleanand free of damage. To prevent thread galling and inaccurate torque during

    nut installation, apply Molycote Type G or equivalent lubricant to the threads

    of the output shaft and retaining nut.

    Install the retaining nut and tighten to 600800 lb ft (8141084 Nm).

    Dropbox models with manual disconnect output clutches use two bolts,shims, and a locking tab to retain the flange and retainer. Refer to Service

    Manual SM1314EN or SM1270EN for shimming procedure and bolt torque.

    If the brake drum mounts behind the flange or yoke, install the drum andretain it with bolts or nuts (as required). Tighten the bolts or nuts.

    23. INSTALLING INPUT FLANGE (REMOTE-MOUNTED)

    Check the front oil seal for failure or damage. For replacement instructions,refer to Service Manual SM1314EN or SM1270EN.

    Lubricate the oil seal with oil-soluble grease.

    Check the input flange or yoke for damage or wear. The oil seal contactsurface must be smooth and regular to prevent oil leaking past the front oil

    seal. Rotate the flange during installation to avoid seal lip damage.

    Install the input flange or yoke. Be sure it is seated against the bearing in thefront of the transmission front cover.

    The input flange or yoke is retained by a large self-locking nut. This nut maybe reused up to five times if it meets running torque requirements during

    removal.

    Each time the nut is reused, deeply scribe one of the wrenching flats. This will

    allow the mechanic to determine how many times the nut has been used. Check the input shaft and retaining nut threads to ensure that they are clean

    and free of damage. To prevent thread galling and inaccurate torque during

    nut installation, apply Molycote Type G or equivalent lubricant to the threads

    of the input shaft and retaining nut.

    Install the retaining nut and tighten to 450550 lb ft (610745 Nm).

    24. INSTALLING RANGE SELECTOR LEVER

    Loosen the clamp bolt in the splined range selector lever.

    Locate the punch mark that was put on the outer side of the lever whenremoved.

    Spread the clamp end of the lever, and install the lever so that the punch markaligns with the index mark on the end of the transmission selector shaft. Push

    the lever onto the shaft until the splines fully engage.

    Tighten the clamp bolt to retain the lever.

    CAUTION: Do not drive or force the lever onto the shaft. Internal

    damage to the transmission might result.

    25. INSTALLING PTO (APPLICABLE AT ANY LOCATION)

    Space limitations will determine whether the PTO should be installed before or after

    the transmission is installed.

    The prescribed backlash between the drive gear (in transmission) and driven

    gear (in PTO) is 0.0060.029 inch (0.150.73 mm) for the engine-driven andturbine-driven PTOs.

    Establish the proper backlash by selecting the proper thickness shims

    (gaskets) when mounting the PTO. To ensure proper installation, locate the PTO unit driven gear (prior to

    installation) immediately behind the transmission drive gear. Install two

    headless guide bolts into the top and bottom of the PTO pad. Install the PTO

    unit.

    Gear backlash can be measured through the inspection port provided in somePTO housings.

    For a PTO mounted at either the top or side of the converter housing, theprescribed backlash is in addition to that already provided between the drive

    gear in the transmission and its driving gear at the rear of the torque converter

    pump. Thus, it is necessary to measure the drive gear/converter pump gear

    backlash before installing the PTO.

    On PTO assemblies that require pressure lubrication, install the lubricationtube and fittings. The lubricating oil comes from the line returning to the

    transmission from the oil cooler. Oil should be directed to the PTO lubrication

    circuit after passing through a 0.060 inch (1.52 mm) orifice. For the engine-

    driven PTO, the maximum orifice size permitted is 0.110 inch (2.79 mm). For

    the converter-driven PTO, the maximum restriction is 0.032 inch (0.81 mm).

    This restriction is usually provided in the PTO.

    26. INSTALLING SHIFT MODULATION CONTROLThe shift modulation control should be installed after the transmission is installed.

    ReferenceParagraph 410.

    CAUTION: Cork or other soft gaskets cannot be used to mount the

    PTO. Use only shims or gaskets recommended by the PTO

    manufacturer.

    CAUTION: PTOs using transmission main pressure to apply the PTO

    must have main pressure dead-headed at the valve when not in use.

    27. INSTALLING OIL FILLER TUBE

    The oil filler tube may be installed before the transmission is installed into the

    vehicle, unless its presence will interfere with transmission installation.

    Install the oil filler tube onto the oil pan boss. If the tube is retained to the oil

    pan by a nut, tighten the nut to 90100 lb ft (123135 Nm).

    If the tube is retained by bolts, install oil filter tube and gasket onto the oilpan. Install two 516-24 bolts with lockwashers into the oil pan boss to retain

    the tube assembly. Tighten the bolts to 1316 lb ft (1822 Nm).

    Fasten the upper end of the oil filler tube with brackets and bolts as required toprevent cracks caused by excessive vibration.

    Install the dropbox filler tube or oil level check tube into the dropbox (seeFigure 56).

    CAUTION: Ensure that the proper length bolts are used. Using bolts

    that are too long may cause cracks (leaks) in the pan.

    31. CHECKING FLEXPLATE DRIVE ASSEMBLY(TRANSMISSION ENGINE-MOUNTED)

    Inspect the flexplate. Replace it if worn or damaged. Examine the flexplate forcracks, distortion, and elongated bolt holes.

    Check the engine crankshaft end play. It must be within the limits prescribedby the engine manufacturer.

    Install the plate assembly onto the engine crankshaft using the bolts andtorques prescribed by the engine or vehicle manufacturer. Refer toFigure 11

    for proper position of installed flexplate.

    Check the concentricity of the engine crankshaft hub with the flywheelhousing. Refer to engine specifications for runout limits.

    32. CHECKING INPUT DRIVE COMPONENTS(TRANSMISSION REMOTE-MOUNTED)

    Inspect the condition of the shaft. Tubular shaft must not be dented or bent.Welds must be sound.

    Remove any accumulation of grease and dirt.

    Inspect universal joints, yokes, coupling flanges, and slipjoint splines for wear

    or damage. Lubricate universal joints and slipjoints. Use the vehicle manufacturer's

    recommended lubricants.

    Check universal joints or slipjoints for indexing to conform to vehiclemanufacturers specifications.

    NOTE: Misindexing of the driveline can result in premature

    transmission failure.

    33. CHECKING CHASSIS AND DRIVELINE

    Inspect the chassis and driveline for the following and correct any faulty conditions:

    Broken or worn transmission mounts.

    Damaged or missing isolators (rubber mounts).

    Improper or damaged bolts, hardware. Cross-frame members, rear-support members.

    Front mounting spacers (some installations have spacers to adapt narrowconverter housing mounts to wider mountings on frame.

    Driveline midship or hanger bearings.

    Driveline yoke slipjoints for freedom of movement, wear, damage,lubrication, and indexing.

    Universal joints for freedom of movement, wear, damage, and lubrication.

    Auxiliary transmission or transfer case for mountings, alignment, flanges oryokes, backlash, and oil leaks.

    PTO driven equipment, shafts, and couplings for condition and alignment.

    34. OIL COOLER, OIL FILTER, AND LINES

    Inspect condition of chassis and transmission-related plumbing. Correct any faulty

    conditions found. Oil cooler (heat exchanger) clean and flush or replace if cleaning and

    flushing are not satisfactory.

    Oil cooler connecting lines clean and flush; inspect for deterioration, faultyconnector, kinks.

    External oil filter replace filter element; inspect fittings, threads, mounting.

    Oil filter lines clean and flush; inspect for deterioration, faulty connectors,kinks.

    After a transmission failure that introduces debris into the oil system,complete cleanup of the system cannot be assured. Repeated cleaning and

    flushing may not remove all debris from the oil cooler. Installation of an

    auxiliary filter between the cooler and transmission (in return line) is

    recommended for use in retarder and non-retarder transmissions. Refer to the

    41. HANDLING

    Handle the transmission carefully to prevent damaging the transmission andcomponents.

    Use a hoist or transmission jack of a type that permits precise control of

    transmission movements during installation.

    42. MOUNTING TO ENGINE (TRANSMISSION ENGINE-MOUNTED)

    Align one of the twelve bolt holes in the flexplate with the access opening atthe front of the engine flywheel housing.

    Install a headless 12-20 guide bolt into one of the tapped holes in theflywheel. Align the guide bolt with the flexplate hole at the access opening.

    Lubricate the pilot boss at the center of the flywheel with molybdenumdisulfide grease (Molycote G or equivalent).

    Move the transmission toward the engine while guiding the pilot boss on theflywheel into the flexplate hub (adapter) and the guide bolt into the hole in the

    flexplate.

    Seat the transmission squarely against the engine flywheel housing. NO forceis required. If interference is encountered, move the transmission away from

    the engine and investigate the cause.

    Align the bolt holes in the converter housing with those in the engine flywheelhousing. Install all of the bolts, finger tight, that retain the transmission to the

    engine.

    Tighten four bolts at 90 degree intervals around the converter housing boltcircle. Then tighten the remaining bolts. Use the torque recommended by the

    vehicle or engine manufacturer.

    CAUTION: The converter housing must be flush against the engine

    flywheel housing before tightening any bolts. Do not use the bolts to

    seat the housing.

    Remove the guide bolt through the access opening in the engine flywheelhousing. Replace it with a 12-20 x 1 inch self-locking bolt. Tighten the bolt

    finger tight at this time.

    While rotating the engine, install the eleven remaining, 12-20 x 1 inchself-locking bolts into the flywheel, finger tight. When all bolts are in place,

    tighten them to 96115 lb ft (130156 Nm).

    Install the flywheel housing access cover.

    43. INSTALLING TRANSMISSION MOUNTING COMPONENTS

    Install all bolts, washers, spacers, isolators, supports or cross membersrequired to support the transmission in the vehicle frame.

    Tighten the bolts to the torque recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

    44. REAR SUPPORT OF THE CLBT 750DB

    Do not support the rear of the transmission by using the two 4-bolt side

    mounting pads of the first clutch and adapter housing assembly. These padsare to be used for rear support in straight-through models only. When

    installing the dropbox model (CLBT 750), the transfer gear and bearing

    retainer side pads should be used for rear support. These mounting pads are

    cast iron and have six 34-10UNC tapped holes(Figure 41).

    NOTE: Do not tighten any flywheel bolts until all of the bolts have

    been installed and tightened finger tight.

    CAUTION: Use the type and grade of mounting bolts recommended

    by the vehicle manufacturer. The 58-11 bolts in the converter

    housing must have at least 114inch (32 mm) thread engagement. The34-10 bolts in the rear adapter housing must have at least 112inch

    (38 mm) thread engagement but must not bottom in the adapter

    housing.

    47. CONNECTING COOLER AND OIL FILTER LINES

    Figures 42 through46 illustrates the different oil filter and oil cooler connections

    required for engine-driven PTO converter housings with no retarder; engine-driven

    PTO with retarder; no engine-driven PTO or retarder; or no engine-driven PTO with

    retarder.

    On CLBT 750 models, be sure that the plugs closing certain oil andtemperature bulb openings are installed and tightened. Tighten plugs

    in oil ports to 4050 lb ft (5468 Nm). Tighten plugs in the

    temperature sensor port to 1620 lb ft (2227 Nm). The hexagon-head

    plugs seat on O-ring seals.

    Be sure oil lines are the proper size and type recommended. Use new O-ringseals where required.

    Connect the oil lines to the transmission and to the oil cooler and external oilfilter. Check to see that the lines are clean and unobstructed.

    The lines should be tightened in the transmission to 4050 lb ft (5468 Nm).

    Check for sharp bends, kinks, twists, and contact with components that willchafe the oil lines.

    Check for proximity to manifolds or exhaust pipes. Excessive heat will hasten

    the deterioration of oil lines. Recheck the routing of all lines with the applicable illustration(Figures 42,

    43, 44, 45, and46).

    48. CONNECTING RANGE SELECTOR CONTROL

    Place the operators range selector control at the N(Neutral) position. Placethe transmission selector lever at the neutral position (first detent clockwise

    from stop at extreme counterclockwise position when lever is installed to

    point downward). Mannesmann Rexroth Shifter (formerly American Standard WABCO)

    1. Place the Mannesmann Rexroth cylinder in the neutral position(Figure 82).

    2. Adjust the linkage as necessary to correspond to transmission range

    selector detents.

    3. In fourth range the T bar should be horizontal with the oil pan.

    Bennett Shifter

    1. Two people will be required to connect the linkage for the range selector.

    2. Place the Bennett shifter in the neutral position. The neutral position for

    the Bennett shifter used with the CLBT 750 is achieved by moving the

    shaft of the shifter(Figure 86) into its bore until fully seated, then

    extending the shaft one position.

    3. Adjust linkage to correspond to the transmission range selector.

    NOTE: While adjusting the linkage to correspond to a particular

    range, air must be continuously supplied to the Bennett shifter. If air isnot supplied continuously, the shaft will extend to make a shift. When

    the air is released, the shaft will once again become free to move

    allowing the linkage to be adjusted improperly.

    After verifying that the shifter detents correspond to the transmission rangeselector detents, return the selector to neutral.

    Find the neutral position for the governor step valve body(Figure 61).

    Connect and adjust the governor step valve body linkage as necessary tocorrespond to the transmission range selector detents.

    Shift through all selector positions, checking each to ensure that the valvebody detents correspond to respective selector positions.

    49. CONNECTING HYDRAULIC RETARDER CONTROL(CLBT MODELS)

    Place the operators control at the OFF (disengaged) position.

    Check the hydraulic retarder control valve. The valve is spring loaded to retractinto the valve body when the retarder is OFF. Lift the valve upward, to ONposition, to check for full travel of 112inch (38 mm) from OFF to ON position.

    Release the valve, permitting the spring to retract the valve.

    Adjust the linkage so that rod end or clevis registers with the pin hole in theretarder valve. Connect the linkage to the retarder valve and check the

    operation of the valve. The valve must be fully extended when the operators

    control is at ON; the valve must be fully retracted when the control is at OFF.

    In all installations the control system must include a return spring to ensurepositive release of the retarder valve when the pedal or lever is at the released

    position.

    410. CONNECTING MODULATOR CONTROL

    Install the modulator actuator rod into the modulator valve body through themodulator mounting hole in the transmission housing(Figure 47).Later

    models incorporate a retained actuator rod, installed during assembly of thevalve body.

    Connect the engine (throttle) end of the modulator cable housing to itsmounting.

    Four types of modulators are currently available for use; a mechanical pushtype, a mechanical pull type, air, and electric. The following steps should be

    used to determine which type of mechanical modulator is required and how to

    adjust the modulator cable travel.

    Open the engine throttle fully and check whether the throttle linkage will push

    or pull(Figure 48) the cable core when the throttle linkage is moving towardfull-throttle position. If it will push the cable core, then push the cable core

    until it reaches the end of its travel. If movement of the throttle linkage toward

    full-throttle position will pull the cable, then pull the cable to the end of its

    travel.

    Figure 48. Current Mechanical Modulators

    Adjust the clevis or rod end of the cable core until it registers with the hole inthe throttle linkage lever, and the connecting pin can be freely inserted. With

    the pin removed, rotate the clevis or rod end one additional turn

    counterclockwise (viewing cable core from its end) for pull-type arrangement,

    or one additional turn clockwise for push-type arrangement. This ensures that

    the modulator does not prevent the throttle lever from reaching the full on

    position. Install the clevis pin or rod end to connect the throttle linkage and

    cable. Tighten the lock nut against the clevis or rod end.

    Check the travel of the cable core when the throttle is moved from fully opento fully closed position. The system is designed to provide a minimum travel

    of 1.187 inch (30.15 mm), and a maximum of 1.56 inch (39.6 mm). However,

    cable travel may vary for different modulator manufacturers.

    NOTE: If the modulator actuator rod is omitted or on earlier models,

    falls into the pan during modulator installation, the result will be

    excessive modulator pressure which will cause the lockup clutch toengage and kill the engine.

    PUSH TYPEPULL TYPEV02396

    Various kinds of modulator controls may be used, but the object of each is toapply increasing force to the modulator actuator rod as the engine fuel control

    is moved from closed to open position. The most common type of control is

    the cable-operated mechanical actuator with either a lever or sliding wedge to

    vary the force on the modulator valve. Both of these types are convertible to

    use either push or pull force on the cable when the throttle is opened. Makesure the modulator control, when connected to the throttle linkage, provides

    an increasing force against the modulator actuator rod in the transmission

    when the engine throttle is moved toward the open throttle position.

    Current actuators include a lever that is marked PUSH on one side, and PULLon the opposite side. When the modulator control cover is removed, the word

    PUSH or PULL can be seen and will indicate how the device is assembled

    (seeFigure 48).

    Earlier mechanical actuators include a sliding wedge (cam). When the coveris removed, the position of the wedge can be seen. When the smaller end of

    the wedge is toward the cable housing, the device is the pull type; when the

    larger end of the wedge is toward the cable housing, the device is the push

    type (seeFigure 49).

    The conversion of either the lever or wedge type to the opposite mode ofoperation is only a matter of reassembling the internal parts. Reverse the

    positions of the lever, spring, and thimble in the lever type to convert it;

    reverse the wedge in the wedge type. Be sure the modulator control action is as required.

    Install the O-ring seal onto the modulator control. Coat the O-ring withoil-soluble grease.

    Install the modulator control into the transmission. Retain the control housingwith the spring clip and the 516-18 x 34inch bolt provided. The convex side of

    the formed end of the clip must be toward the transmission and against the

    shoulder of the actuator stem. Tighten the bolt to 1316 lb ft (1822 Nm).

    Check the cable routing. Bends must not be less than 8 inch (203 mm) radius.The cable should not be nearer than 6 inch (152 mm) to the engine exhaust

    pipe or manifold. The cable must follow the movements of the throttle

    linkage. It may be necessary to add a spring to ensure that the movement

    occurs smoothly.

    Adjust other types of modulator controls as recommended by the vehiclemanufacturer.

    If not previously installed, mount the PTO onto the transmission. Refer toParagraph 25 for instructions.

    Connect controls to the PTO. Check for proper operation of the controls.

    Check for cable or linkage rod routing. Kinks, sharp bends, and proximity ofthe cable to exhaust pipes or manifold must be avoided. Rods or linkage must

    not rub or interfere with adjacent parts.

    Couple the PTO output to its driven equipment. Check couplings or universaljoints for proper assembly and alignment.

    CAUTION: PTOs using main transmission pressure to apply the PTO

    must have main pressure dead headed at the valve when not in use.

    Connect and properly adjust the parking brake linkage.

    Adjust the brake shoe-to-drum clearance, or disc brake pads as specified bythe manufacturer.

    413. CONNECTING OUTPUT DISCONNECT CONTROLS(DROPBOX MODELS ONLY)

    Connect and properly adjust the output disconnect linkage. Refer to thevehicle manual.

    414. CONNECTING SPEEDOMETER DRIVE

    Install the speedometer driven gear assembly into the transmission. Tightenthe body in the transmission rear cover to 4550 lb ft (6168 Nm). If no

    speedometer drive is provided, be sure the plug is installed to close the hole in

    the housing (torque is the same as for the driven gear body).

    Install the speedometer drive cable onto the driven gear assembly. Tighten thenut to 50 lb in. (5.65 Nm). Avoid kinks or sharp bends in the cable assembly.

    All bends must have a radius of 6 inches (152 mm) or more. No more than

    one 90 degree bend is allowed.

    415. INSTALLING TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE SENSORS ANDELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

    Install temperature sensors (capillary tube and bulb or thermocouple) into theconverter housing or hydraulic retarder valve.

    SeeFigures 42 through46 for various locations. Tighten the 12inch pipe

    thread adapter sufficiently to prevent leakage. Install the bulb into the adapter and tighten the nut into the adapter.

    Check the capillary tube for interference with parts that might chafe ordamage the tube. Long tubes may require clips or brackets for support.

    Install electrical temperature sensors into the proper openings(Figures 42through46). Connect electrical leads to the sensors.

    Check that all openings in CLBT models that require plugs are plugged(Figures 42 through46).

    Install the neutral start switch (if so equipped) into the opening in the left sideof the transmission housing(Figure 47). The switch must include an

    aluminum washer (gasket) approximately 0.090 inch (2.29 mm) thick. Apply

  • 5/19/2018 PM1772EN Allison

    29/64

    22

    pipe sealant (Loctitewith Teflonor equivalent) to the threads of the switch.

    Tighten the switch to 5060 lb ft (6881 Nm).

    If the neutral start switch is not mounted at this location, the opening must beplugged.

    Connect the wire leads that serve the neutral start switch.

    If so equipped, install the reverse signal switch at the right side of thetransmission housing. Tighten the switch to 45 lb ft (5.46.8 Nm). Connect

    the electrical leads.

    Install and connect other electrical components such as heaters, winterizationequipment, and pressure sensors.

    Install the pressure gauge tubes if so equipped.

    Check the starting circuit. The starter should operate only when thetransmission range selector is at the neutral position.

    416. FILLING THE OIL SYSTEM

    Be sure the oil system is properly filled before starting the engine. Refer toSection V, OIL SYSTEM.

    NOTE:The type and location of the neutral-start switch is optional.

    Provision is made for installation on the transmission(Figure 47),if

    desired.

    30/64

    23

    51. FILLING THE SYSTEM

    After the overhaul or rebuild, the system, including all external plumbing andcomponents such as filters and heat exchanger, must be refilled.

    The initial running of the engine after overhaul will cause a rapid draw-down

    of the transmission oil level. Check the oil level several times during the firstfew minutes of operation and add oil as needed to maintain the level within

    the COLD RUN band.

    Make an accurate check after the level has stabilized and the oil is hot(160200F; 7193C). Refer to the following paragraphs in this section for

    oil system data.

    52. DEEP OIL PAN

    An 812inch deep cast iron oil pan is standard on the CLBT 750 transmission.This oil pan increases the sump oil capacity to provide a better roadability in

    on-highway and/or off-highway operations and increased pan durability in off

    highway operation. The increased oil volume (approximately 3 quarts

    (2.8 liters)) maintains a more consistent oil level thereby ensuring ample oil

    supply for transmission operation and cooling.

    53. OIL PAN INTERCHANGEABILITY

    Oil pan parts are fully interchangeable on transmissions in field service but, all oil

    pan parts for a chosen depth must be used together. See Parts Catalog to obtain

    correct parts.

    Figure 51 illustrates the dimensions relative to the various pan dimensions. A review

    of vehicle installation will determine clearances necessary for installation of the

    heavy duty deep oil pan.

    The oil fill tube used on the 6 inch pan can be adapted to the deep pan with no

    change. Dipstick markings are illustrated inFigure 54.Figures 52 and53

    illustrate oil levels on transmissions equipped with the 6, 7, and 812inch oil pan.

    Figure 53illustrates the oil levels relative to the 7 and 812inch oil pan. These oil

    levels are referenced from the top of the oil pan or the pan to transmission housing

    splitline.

    The COLD RUN band level,Figure 54, is an approximate dimension to be

    established by the OEM/customer at installation. An exact HOT RUN band

    dimension and oil level should be established prior to the COLD RUN dimension and

    oil level. A HOT RUN check for proper operating oil level is required.

    To calibrate the new dipstick, strike a mark on the side of the oil filler tube (that has

    been installed) to correspond with the top of transmission oil pan, referenced in

    Figure 54. Position new dipstick down along the outside of oil fill tube, holding the

    top even with the top of fill tube (where it would rest if installed into tube). Follow

    contour of fill tube with the dipstick down to the mark previously scribed on side of

    fill tube representing top of oil pan mark dipstick. Now, measure down 2.5 inch(64 mm) below this mark and scribe a line across dipstick, this will be the top line of

    the HOT RUN band as illustrated inFigure 53.At a point 1.0 inch (25 mm) below

    this scribed line, scribe another line across the dipstick; this represents the bottom of

    HOT RUN and the top of the COLD RUN band. Measure down 1.25 inch (32 mm)

    and scribe the bottom line for the COLD RUN band.

    The oil capacity (initial full) of the 6 or 7 inch deep oil pan is 814U.S. gallons

    (31 liters). The oil capacity (initial fill) of the 812inch heavy duty deep oil pan is

    912U.S. gallons (36 liters).

    57. CHECKING TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL

    Cold Oil Check (COLD RUN band). A cold oil check should be performedwith the engine idling and the oil temperature at 60120F (1649C). Oil

    registering in the COLD RUN band indicates a sufficient quantity of oil to

    safely operate the transmission until the temperature reaches 160200F

    (71 93C). When the temperature is 160200F (7193C), a hot oil checkmust be made.

    Hot Oil Check (HOT RUN band). After the temperature reaches 160200F(7193C), remove the dipstick from the oil filler tube and check the oil level.

    If the oil level registers in the HOT RUN band(Figure 54), the oil level is

    satisfactory for the operation of the vehicle. If the oil level registers on, or

    below the bottom of the HOT RUN band, add oil to bring the oil level up to

    the middle of the HOT RUN band.

    Always check the oil level on the dipstick at least twice. Consistency isimportant in maintaining accuracy. If inconsistent readings persists, check the

    transmission breather for dirt and obstructions. Improper venting atmosphere

    may cause pressure buildups inside the transmission.

    CAUTION: The oil level rises as sump temperature increases.

    Therefore, do not fill above the COLD RUN band before the

    transmission has reached normal operating temperature. Excessive oil

    causes overheating and irregular shift patterns.

    58. OIL SPECIFICATIONS

    Recommended oil specification is Allison-approved C-4. Usage should comply to the

    information and chart related onFigure 55, relative to ambient temperature, fluid

    viscosity grade, and preheat.

    59. OIL CHANGE AND FILTER REPLACEMENT

    Oil change and filter replacement frequency is determined by the transmissionapplication and the severity of operating conditions.

    In general, the oil should be changed after 1,200 hours of operation. Theexternal filter elements should be changed every 600 hours of operation.

    Severe operating conditions may require more frequent changes.

    The internal suction screen does not require routine servicing. Do not removethe pan.

    To drain the oil, remove the drain plug at the rear of the oil pan. The oil will

    drain better if the transmission is hot. Replace the plug when the oil pan isthoroughly drained.

    Remove the external oil filter element(s) and sealrings. Install a newelement(s) and new sealrings.

    Four 24 U.S. quarts (22.7 liters) of Allison-approved C-4 oil into thetransmission. Check the oil level as outlined earlier in this section.

    Figure 55. Fluid Viscosity Versus Ambient Temperature

    CAUTION: The 30F (34C) sump temperature specification is

    based on cold engine operation. Even if the engine is warm and capable

    of full throttle output, the transmission should not be operated for

    30 seconds to allow for buildup of sufficient main pressure.

    510. OIL OPERATING TEMPERATURES

    The maximum oil temperature (converter-out temperature) during converter

    operation is 300F (149C). The only exception to this limit is transmissions equipped

    with input retarders. For intermittent retarder operation, the converter-out oil

    temperature may exceed 275F (135C) but under no condition is the converter-out

    oil temperature to exceed 330F (165C). If the maximum converter-out oil

    temperature is reached, the following procedure should be followed:

    Stop the vehicle and shift the transmission into neutral and operate the engineat 1500 rpm to reduce the transmission oil temperature.

    If the transmission oil does not cool in approximately 30 seconds, or if itcontinues to overheat after operation is continued, stop vehicle and engine and

    locate the problem.

    Some confusion may exist concerning oil temperature and if the temperature quoted

    is sump temperature or converter out operating temperature. The following chart

    should eliminate the confusion:

    511. OIL LEVEL FOR TRANSFER GEAR HOUSING (DROPBOX)

    The oil level for the CL(B)T 750 dropbox has been changed. Excessive dropbox oil

    temperature may result in some installations during continuous high speed operation.

    Lowering the oil level will reduce these temperatures. The new, lower levels are asfollows:

    The new FULL and ADD levels correspond to approximately 2.6 quarts (2.5 liters)

    and 2 quarts (1.9 liters), respectively. With these reduced volumes, the ADD andFULL levels remain the same for a cold fluid level check or a hot fluid level check.

    The oil used in the dropbox continues to be Allison-approved C-4, Grade 30.

    Be sure oil level dipsticks are calibrated to correspond with the new FULL and ADD

    oil levels(Figure 56).

    Figure 56 illustrates an alternate fill pipe configuration that is recommended for the

    dropbox. This configuration assures that the box will not be overfilled and provides

    for a quick check of the actual level. A dipstick is not required with this configuration

    nor is venting required. Basically, this configuration consists of nipples, elbow and

    compression plug (or a threaded cap) with the end of the open fitting corresponding

    to the FULL oil level requirement in the dropbox.

    61. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

    The manual shift mode allows upshifts to be made regardless of transmission output

    speed and prevents automatic downshifts. In addition to the powershift mode, the

    normal automatic operation is maintained so that either manual or automatic shifting

    can be selected for installations where the transmission serves a dual purpose.Switching from manual to automatic is achieved by an externally mounted customer

    supplied two position valve* (mode shift valve) that controls the supply of oil to an

    externally mounted valve body. Typical installations that would require this system

    use the transmission in the power train for roading the equipment and to power some

    working machinery located on the vehicle when it is stationary. Examples of

    equipment of this type include: oil well servicing rigs, pumping and fracturing rigs,

    oil well logging equipment, and logging trucks. In these dual purpose applications,

    roading of the vehicle is permitted in automatic mode only. To achieve this

    requirement, some type of interlock feature must be incorporated on the vehicle that

    prevents the operator from selecting the manual mode when the vehicle is being

    roaded. The following describes the complete installation of the kit.

    * This valve mustbe selected from the following specified part numbers:

    All above valves are used with subplate: DGMS-2-4E-10-S.

    The above mode selection valves are recommended on the basis of satisfactory field

    experience. These mode selection valves are also used with other manual/automatic

    shift systems. Since these are four-way valves, one port must be blocked to create the

    three-port function defined in SIL 29-TR-82.

    Spacer.This is not included in kit, but it is required with the installation of the check

    valve on dropbox models prior to Serial No. 24218. ReferenceFigure 62.

    62. FUNCTIONAL OPERATION

    The kit consists of the external valve body as shown inFigure 61 and a check valveassembly P/N 6882811 shown inFigure 62.

    Manual Mode.Oil is supplied to the valve body from the filter out line. A priority

    valve in the valve body directs this oil first to the mode shift valve (LINE 1) and

    secondly to the main return line to complete the normal filter circuit. During manual

    operation the modeshift valve directs the supply of oil back to the valve body (LINE

    2) to feed the selector valve. The selector valve, which is mechanically linked to

    transmission lever, in turn feeds oil to a multi-level regulator which produces five

    different constant levels of oil pressure according to position of the selector. These

    pressures are: Rev, N, 1st 0 psi; 2nd A psi; 3rd B psi; 4th C psi; 5th D psi

    as shown in Figure 61. These various levels of pressure may differ according to the

    transmission valve body calibration with which it is used. The output from the step

    regulator is then fed to the rear cover (LINE 3) where it intersects the governor output

    line through the double ended check valve provided in the kit. When the pressure

    from the external valve body exceeds the pressure from the governor, the ball seats in

    the upward position and oil passes out the side of the check valve to the shift valves in

    the transmission valve body. When the supply to the manual valve body is turned off,the governor pressure from the transmission governor seats the ball in the downward

    position and transmission operates as an automatic. When the feed to the manual

    valve body is on and the output of the transmission governor exceeds the output of

    the external valve body, the ball will be seated in the down position and the

    transmission will be in the range corresponding to that governor pressure. In this way,

    the transmission governor overrides the step governor and thereby provides a high

    speed downshift inhibiting feature.

    Automatic Mode.The mode shift valve blocks the flow of oil from the priority valve

    (LINE 1) and exhausts the governor feed (LINES 2 and 3) back to the transmission

    sump (LINE 4). The check valve now seats at the bottom end of the valve and the

    transmission governor supplies oil to the control valve body producing normal

    automatic operation.

    63. INSTALLATION

    No rework is required on transmissions S/N 4398 and later for check valveP/N 6882811. Prior to 4398, a rework as shown inFigure 62 is required to accept

    the 6882811 check valve. All hydraulic connections are external and provided by the

    customer. SAE 100 R5 specification hose is satisfactory.

    An additional spacer is required on dropbox models, prior to transmission S/N 24218.

    The valve body has six holes for mounting purposes and can be mounted on the

    transmission or on the vehicle. Since the valve body selector valve and thetransmission selector lever are mechanically linked, relative motion between the

    transmission and frame that would cause a change in their relative position cannot be

    allowed to exist.

    A necessary requirement of the installation is that vehicle roading be done in

    automatic mode. To achieve this, some form of interlock is necessary with the signal

    that actuates the mode shift valve. This could come from an engagement mechanism

    in the vehicle power train or a signal that activates the shift controller in the cab.

    Either manual or automatic operation is permissible for no-roading operation.

    Drainbacks to the sump (LINES 4 and 5) can be fed into the PTO cover, dipstick

    tube, or the drain plug in the transmission oil pan.

    64. DOWNSHIFT INHIBITING CL(B)T 750 (2100 AND 2300 RPMDROPBOX MODELS ONLY)

    The downshift inhibiting feature can be defeated in the manual mode only, if desired.

    Thus, a downshift will be allowed to occur regardless of transmission output speed. It

    is important that this modification be restricted to manual/automatic installations

    where there are very small output inertias in the working mode. Applications

    satisfying this requirement are primary oil well pumping rigs and other

    miscellaneous pumping applications.

    The dropbox adapter housing was modified effective transmission S/N 27267 to

    accept a customer supplied sleeve 0.340/0.339 OD x 0.185/0.277 ID x 2.01/1.99 inch

    long (8.636/8.611 x 4.70/7.04 x 50.8/50.5 mm). Refer toFigure 63. On

    transmissions prior to S/N 27267, it is necessary to rework the inside governor

    pressure tap (main oil feed to the governor) to accept the sleeve (refer toFigure 62).

    Since this operation requires partial disassembly of the transmission, this operation

    should be performed by an authorized Allison Transmission repair outlet.

    Figure 63. Downshift Inhibit Sleeve

    The function of the sleeve is to block an internal main oil feed hole to the governor,

    allowing main oil to be fed to the governor through an external line from the mode

    shift valve in the automatic mode and to exhaust any governor pressure in the manual

    mode.

    As a result, the CLBT 750 dropbox transmissions S/N 24218 and later will no longer

    require the tubular spacer. The boss formerly located at the governor pressure tap has

    been shortened. The new transfer gear housing adapters will appear to have a

    81. GENERAL

    A manual/automatic kit is available for the 750 Series transmission which permits the

    selection of either fully automatic or manual step operation. This permits a mobile rig

    to be roaded in fully automatic and worked with manual step control for speed

    selection.

    This dual mode kit is P/N 6883932 and is fully described in Allison Transmission

    Instruction Sheet 109 and SIL 29-TR-82. For manual/automatic control, the kit and

    two additional components must be installed and operated in conjunction with the

    normal range selector shaft. The separate step governor valve must be operated in

    synchronization with the range selector shaft and a mode shift valve connected in the

    transmission hydraulic system must activate to change the mode of operation.

    Modifications to the transmission hydraulic system are necessary and specified in the

    kit instructions. The special step governor valve is supplied in the kit. The mode shift

    valve is specified but is furnished by the customer. The dealer, or customer, is

    instructed to mount and link these valves on the transmission. Currently, there are two

    major suppliers of the range shifters; Mannesmann Rexroth Corporation (refer to

    Paragraph 82) and Bennett Enterprises, Inc. (refer toParagraph 83).

    82. MANNESMANN REXROTH CORPORATION SHIFTER

    A Mannesmann Rexroth Corporation pneumatic control system is available for dual

    mode operation of the 750 Series transmissions, HT 750DRD and CL(B)T 750.Instructions permit roading a vehicle only in automatic mode. An interlock is

    recommended to prevent manual step operation when the vehicle is being roaded.

    The Mannesmann Rexroth system provides this feature in the form of a station select

    system which shifts to automatic mode whenever the driving control valve is supplied

    with air pressure. The system shifts to manual step mode whenever the drawworks

    control valve is pressurized. A general schematic of the Mannesmann Rexroth control

    system is shown in Figure 81.

    A Mannesmann Rexroth Corporation bracket kit P065274 is available for mounting

    the multi-position cylinder, step governor valve and the mode shift valve to the

    transmission. It consists of a mounting bracket and the necessary linkage to mount

    and actuate the range selector shaft and step governor valve simultaneously as

    required. The bracket is attached to the two machining lugs on the selector shaft side

    of the transmission(Figure 81). The Mannesmann Rexroth multi-position cylinderprovides the seven increments of stroke to position the selector shaft and step

    governor valve. The assembly is mounted to the side of the transmission and projects

    about 4 inch (102 mm) outside the transmission envelope in places. There is sufficient

    clearance for most typical installations.

    The 7-position control system shown inFigure 81is available from Mannesmann

    Rexroth and their authorized distributors as Mannesmann Rexroth Kit P/N P065459.

    The Mannesmann Rexroth components included in the kit are the 7-position cylinder,

    rotair valves, pilotair valve, shuttle valves, bracket, and linkage kit.

    7-Position Cylinder. The 7-position cylinder is a medium-duty pneumaticpositioning device that operates through seven predetermined positions of12inch (13 mm) increments with a total stroke of 3 inch (76 mm).

    Maximum operating pressure is 150 psi (1034 kPa) within temperature rangeof 40200F (4093C). The cylinder piston rod reaches its various positions

    in response to pressure being supplied to the cylinder ports, as shown in

    Figure 82. The 7-position cylinder has reverse at the full extended position of the rod and

    is spring-returned to neutral (next position in from reverse) from any position.

    The HT 750 transmissions which these cylinders control, have the fully

    automatic or drive position adjacent to neutral. The corresponding position is

    5 on the 7-position cylinder. However, sequential order of cylinder positions is

    a function of the P Number Rotair valve used.

    The forces developed by the cylinder are functions of the air pressure applied

    to the exposed piston areas and are tabulated for rod movement to the variousstroke positions as shown inFigure 82.The internal spring returns the piston

    rod to its neutral position when air pressure is intentionally or unintentionally

    exhausted from all control lines. This safety feature returns the transmission

    to neutral if the air supply is lost.

    Operator Controls. The basic Mannesmann Rexroth pneumatic multi-position control system consists of a multi-position power cylinder explained

    above and a rotary type selector valve. An air supply pressure in the range of

    90150 psi (6201034 kPa) is connected to the rotary valve. For each handleposition of the rotary valve, a different combination of the air lines is

    pressurized, causing the cylinder to move to corresponding positive positions

    and hold in these positions.

    Figure 82. Cylinder Cross Section and Air Supply Schedule

    The rotary type selector valve consists of a subplate portion containing airstrainers in each port connection, a seat and rotary disc valve section, a handle

    operating section containing the handle labyrinth and position detents, and an

    interlock switch section with a neutral start switch depressed only when the

    handle is in the Nposition. The open labyrinth design permits the handle to be

    moved quickly between desired positions and to Nposition. Detents for eachposition permit the operator to feel the handle location for each selection.

    When the handle is released, it spring offsets between two pins to help prevent

    inadvertent operation.Figure 83 details a cross-section of the rotary type

    selector valve.

    Coupled with the Allison 750 Series transmission and the Allison manual/automatic

    option kit P/N 6883932, the Bennett shifter manual/automatic adapter synchronizes

    the linear movement of the selector shaft of the step governor valve (furnished with

    the Allison kit) with the rotating movement of the transmission range selector shaft.

    This combination allows the transmission to operate accurately and effectively into

    different modes:

    The manual powershift mode, which allows upshifts to be made regardless oftransmission output speed and prevents automatic downshifts.

    The normal automatic operating mode.

    The complete mounting kit is designed to combine the Bennett shifter and the Allison

    manual/automatic option kit into a precision operating unit. Selector valve levers are

    available for either the HT or CLT transmissions.Figure 84 shows a typical

    installation.

    Figure 84. Typical Bennett Shifter Installation

    A precise indicator system is built into the Bennett shifter and is directly connected

    with the transmission range selector lever by mechanical linkages. Once the shifter is

    in place, a light in the indicator panel assures the operator that the transmission is inthe range he has selected. This light is connected to the indicator system of the

    Bennett shifter and forms a direct feedback system operated either electrically or by

    air power. Bennett can supply either an air range indicator system or an electrical

    range indicator system.

    Figure 85 illustrates a typical installation on an oil well servicing rig where the

    transmission is operated in the automatic mode from the cab when on the road and

    the manual power shift mode from the rear station when on location.

    Bennett Shifter. The shifter mechanism, which is made by BennettEnterprises, Inc., can be actuated by either compressed air or hydraulic fluid

    acting on opposing limited-travel steel pistons moving in aluminum cylinders.

    In operation, the pistons of the shifter either extend or retract the drive rod ofthe shifter, which changes the ranges on the transmission. As either piston is

    advanced by the applied air or oil pressure, it moves forward for a fixed-

    distance full stroke against an opposing return spring until it hits a mechanical

    stop. As it does, a spring-loaded pawl is extended out of the moving cylinder

    to engage a ratchet tooth on a rack attached to the drive rod of the shifter. Thismoves the drive rod one stroke in the direction of the piston, which

    corresponds to the next detent position on the transmission shift lever.

    Figure 85. Schematic Diagram for a Two-Station Unit

    As the air is exhausted from the cylinder at the end of the pistons stroke, thereturn spring sets the piston back to its starting position, simultaneously

    retracting the pawl as it goes. To move the shift lever of the transmission

    another step, the cylinder must be reactivated for an additional stroke.

    Reversal of the shifts on the transmission is accomplished in the same step-

    wise manner by activating the opposing cylinder on the shifter mechanism. Awiper arm moving across electrical contacts on the shifter cover sends signals

    to the control panel to tell the equipment operator what position the gear shift

    lever is inFigure 86 is a cutaway view of the Bennett shifter.

    Operator Controls. As with any product fulfilling a variety of roles andapplications, certain additional add-on features are useful. To enable the user

    to tailor any of the basic Bennett shifter models to his individual

    requirements, an option list is available. The following are some of the more

    popular options:

    1. Indicator lights connected directly to the electrical contacts in the shifter

    provide the operator with a positive indication of the range of the

    transmission (Figure 87).

    2. For instantaneous shift to neutral or any range, a special auxiliary cylinder

    installation is available(Figure 88).

    3. A downshift inhibitor valve can be added to the Bennett shifter to prevent

    downshifting when the torque converter of the transmission is in lockup.

    4. When an electrical range indicator system is used, the neutral terminal of

    the shifter provides the necessary electrical path for installation of a

    solenoid switch. This prevents starting of the engine except when the

    transmission is in neutral.

    84. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE ON SHIFTERS

    Careful attention must be given to the external linkages connecting the transmission

    range selector, step governor valve and shifter. All three components must be in the

    same detent at the same time. Otherwise, an improper shift could occur which could

    fail the transmission.

    85. MODE SHIFT VALVES USED IN MANNESMANN REXROTH ANDBENNETT SYSTEMS

    Most Mannesmann Rexroth and Bennett systems require two mode shift valves;

    either Eaton or Eagle Equipment valves (refer toParagraph 61). The system is

    designed to operate the transmission in the manual mode when air is supplied to the

    shift valve. When air is exhausted, or not applied at the mode shift valve, the

    transmission will operate in the automatic mode.

    In some cases, a Beckett valve will be used with a Bennett shifter. In this case, the

    transmission operates in the manual mode when the air to the mode shift valve is

    exhausted, or not applied. When the automatic mode is desired, air is applied to the

    Beckett shift valve. A schematic of the Beckett valve circuitry is shown inFigure 89.

    91. PRESSURE TAP LOCATION

    Since the introduction of the CLBT 750 transmission, there have been several

    changes resulting in different locations for checking specific oil pressure schedules.

    Therefore, to avoid confusion and the possibility of checking a pressure schedule at

    the wrong location, refer to Figures 91through94 for location of the pressurecheck points.

    The following items should be checked before attempting to troubleshoot the

    circuitry:

    Verify that engine idle speed is not lower than 650 rpm.

    Verify that the transmission has the correct oil level. Refer toSection 5,Figures 52 and53.

    Verify that the air system used to p
